[Advisors] ltr to InCan -- vers.2

[Eric Stackhouse]

Hi Gareth.

You are right, that effort was led by the Canadian library association, spec=
ifically a number of large urban libraries. But there was a number of us in t=
he library community who refused to go along with this and spoke out against=
 it. CLA is now a shadow of itself, in part due to this attitude towards coo=
peration.
